You can determine whether a plant has a herbaceous or woody stem by examining its texture and structure. Herbaceous stems are typically soft, green, and flexible, lacking significant lignification, while woody stems are hard, rigid, and often brown due to the presence of lignin. Additionally, herbaceous plants usually die back to the ground in winter, whereas woody plants maintain their structure year-round. Observing the growth habit and the plant's overall lifespan can also provide clues; perennial shrubs and trees generally have woody stems, while annual and biennial plants often have herbaceous stems.
Bamboo is classified as a grass, which means it has a herbaceous stem. However, it is unique among grasses because its stems, known as culms, can be quite thick and hard, giving them a woody appearance. Despite this toughness, bamboo's stems do not have the same characteristics as true woody plants, as they lack secondary growth. Thus, bamboo is primarily considered herbaceous with some woody characteristics.
Herbaceous stems are soft, flexible, and typically green, while woody stems are hard, rigid, and covered with bark. Herbaceous stems usually die back in winter, while woody stems are more permanent and continue to grow year after year.
